What is an FMA used for?
What is an FMA used for?
Bright yellow lights will light up in the cockpit.
What is the maximum operating ceiling of a typical jet?
What is the maximum operating ceiling of a typical jet?
41.000ft
What are the lift qualities of a swept wing?
What are the lift qualities of a swept wing?
Poor, because the sweep-back design has the effect of reducing the lift capabilities of the wing.
How can you calculate Vref?
How can you calculate Vref?
Vref = 1.3 x Vs0 (stall speed in the landing configuration).
Is the Seneca turbocharged?
Is the Seneca turbocharged?
We are missing the answer.
You need to uplift four tonnes of fuel, how many litres would you ask for if the SG is 0.8?
You need to uplift four tonnes of fuel, how many litres would you ask for if the SG is 0.8?
5000 litres
(4 tonnes / 0.8 = 5000 litters)
What is CRM?
What is CRM?
Crew Resource Management (CRM) is the effective use of all available resources for flight crew personnel to assure a safe and efficient operation, reducing error, avoiding stress and increasing efficiency.
Explain V1, V2, VR, VMCA and VMCG
Explain V1, V2, VR, VMCA and VMCG
V1 is the decision speed (sometimes referred to as critical engine speed or critical engine failure speed) by which any decision to reject a takeoff must be made.
V2 is the takeoff safety speed which must be attained at the 35 ft height at the end of the required runway distance. This is essentially the best one-engine inoperative angle of climb speed for the airplane and is a minimum speed for flight in that condition until at least 400 ft above the ground. V2 shall be at least 1.1 times VMCA, and no less than 1.2 times VS.
Vr is defined as the speed at which the rotation of the aircraft should be initiated to takeoff attitude.
VMCA is the minimum control speed in the air and is defined as the minimum speed, whilst in the air, that directional control can be maintained with one engine inoperative (critical engine on two engine aerolanes), operating engine(s) at takeoff power and a maximum of 5 degrees of bank towards the good engine(s).
VMCG is the minimum control speed on the ground and is defined as the minimum speed, whilst on the ground, that directional control can be maintained, using only aerodynamic controls, with one engine inoperative (critical engine on two engine airplanes) and takeoff power applied on the other engine(s).
Which flight will take the shortest time, from London to New York or New York to London?
Which flight will take the shortest time, from London to New York or New York to London?
New York to London (flying east) would take less time because of the Polar front westerly jet stream.
What is radiation fog?
What is radiation fog?
Radiation fog forms on cloudless nights with only very light winds and high relative humidity when the cold ground cools the air above it to its dew point causing condensation (fog).
Usually occurs inland in valleys and low lying areas (as these areas tend to have more moisture) and usually occurs in a high pressure system.
